{"abstract":"This action sets forth the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) final decision on the issues for which it granted reconsideration on January 21, 2015, that pertain to certain aspects of the January 31, 2013, final amendments to the \"National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters\" (Boiler MACT). The EPA is retaining a minimum carbon monoxide (CO) limit of 130 parts per million (ppm) and the particulate matter (PM) continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) requirements, consistent with the January 2013 final rule. The EPA is making minor changes to the proposed definitions of startup and shutdown and work practices during these periods, based on public comments received. Among other things, this final action addresses a number of technical corrections and clarifications of the rule. These corrections will clarify and improve the implementation of the January 2013 final Boiler MACT, but do not have any effect on the environmental, energy, or economic impacts associated with the proposed action. This action also includes our final decision to deny the requests for reconsideration with respect to all issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration of the final Boiler MACT for which we did not grant reconsideration.","action":"Final rule; notice of final action on reconsideration.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/11/20/2015-29186.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":63,"title":40}],"citation":"80 FR 72790","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective November 20, 2015.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058","FRL-9936-20-OAR"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-29186","effective_on":"2015-11-20","end_page":72837,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/11/20/2015-29186.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/20/2015-29186/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-for-major-sources-industrial-commercial-and","images":{"ER20NO15.000":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER20NO15.000/ER20NO15.000_large.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER20NO15.000/ER20NO15.000_original_size.png"}},"images_metadata":{"ER20NO15.000":{"large":{"identifier":"ER20NO15.000","content_type":"image/png","size":2996,"width":688,"sha":"eb5f2bd2ad3dc7769eb0734a3c5bd03f","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER20NO15.000/ER20NO15.000_large.png","height":42},"original_size":{"identifier":"ER20NO15.000","content_type":"image/png","size":4023,"width":2458,"sha":"e859197d6db05ce4cf66c6ea8ae07c0a","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER20NO15.000/ER20NO15.000_original_size.png","height":150}}},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-29186?publication_date=2015-11-20","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-11-20/2015-29186/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":48,"page_views":{"count":2438,"last_updated":"2026-08-23 22:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-11-20/pdf/2015-29186.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-29186.pdf?1447940728","publication_date":"2015-11-20","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/11/20/2015-29186.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2060-AS09":{"issue":"201510","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2060-AS09/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-for-major-sources-industrial-commercial-and","title":"National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters; Notice of Reconsideration","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201510&RIN=2060-AS09&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2060-AS09"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Surrogacy Testing in the MPCRF - Final Report","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3942"},{"title":"Response to 2015 Reconsideration Comments for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters NESHAP","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3937"},{"title":"CIBO Letter Revising Petition for Reconsideration","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3895"},{"title":"Email from EPA/CAMD, dated May 7, 2014, transmitting an analysis of the time it takes some industrial boilers to operate their controls during startup","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3893"},{"title":"OMB to USEPA Correspondence (2) on December 20, 2012","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3873"},{"title":"November 28, 2012 OMB to USEPA Correspondence","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3867"},{"title":"Meeting Materials from OMB E.O. 12866 Regulatory Review with CIBO on December 18, 2012","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3844"},{"title":"October 17, 2011 Email from Brian Shrager, USEPA, to: C.
